Chapter 468 Escalation of Infighting
Gay almost monopolized all the possession of the team's second team.He couldn't enjoy unlimited shots in the starting lineup, but he didn't expect this wish to come true in the second lineup.
The second team of the Grizzlies is indeed a bit shabby, and Arenas is only a little more famous, and his real combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the opposite Gary Neal.In this case, Gay has become the first offensive point in this lineup.
Gay does have singles strength, he can score.This point, even the black bear Randolph who sprayed him, had to admit it.It's just that he belongs to the type where his own scoring and the team's overall offense are separated from each other. If the score is smooth, it is very powerful;
So it seems that Gay has been scoring in the second team, but the efficiency is not high.And the opponent is easy to defend, as long as you are good at defending against your singles, and you can attack from time to time, anyway, you are not fast to play the ball, and you are not afraid of being "pointed to the surface" effect.
The gap hasn't narrowed, but it hasn't widened either.This made Gay very proud. After all, the team's second team lost points in the last game.
The starting lineups of both sides have returned one after another, and Gay is still on the court.He still refused to pass the ball to Xie Kai and Black Bear. The leadership of the team just now made him somewhat inflated, and his self-confidence came up. He felt that the ball was in his hands, and he was the contemporary Jordan.
The Grizzlies are back on the isolation road, and it seems like it's gone for good.
The Spurs are not afraid of singles!Their individual defensive ability is completely OK, even if Dior is not good at defense, but if you want to kill him one-on-one, it is not an easy task.Not to mention their overall defense is out there and won't really kill you one-on-one.
Coach Hollins is so worried!He really didn't expect the series with the Spurs to be like this.He originally thought that as long as he was the main force, he could avoid the weakness of the team's second lineup, and then copied the successful experience of last season, using the inside advantage and Xie Kai, which the opponent could not limit, to win this round of the series.
But the development of the matter was completely out of his control, and he didn't know what would happen afterwards.If the internal strife escalates, let alone the Western Conference Finals, the possibility of being swept away by the opponent is not small.
The Spurs have steadily controlled the rhythm of the game. Their experience is too rich. They are afraid of the kind of talented teams that "beat the master to death", such as the Grizzlies last season and the Thunder this season, but Everyone who is really strict plays technical and tactical cooperation and meticulous work. They are worthy of any team in the league.
At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies trailed the Spurs by 10 points.Gay scored 12 points in the half, his most in a half since the playoffs.
During the intermission.
In the visiting team's locker room, it was very quiet.Not so in the first round of the playoffs.From the high-spirited before, to the deserted and cheerless now, it seems that several centuries have passed.
Coach Hollins knew that he couldn't do without talking. He really missed when Battier was there last season.But now this person is already in Miami on the south coast, and seeing him play an important role next to the Big Three is really enviable.
"Uh... Everyone, we are not far behind!" Coach Hollins finally said, "The game is far from over, and there is still halftime. In the second half, we need to play more decisively and play more To share the ball, we need to be more decisive. We can win, and we did it last season."
"Coach, the situation between last season and now is different!" Guy heard Coach Hollins chattering there, feeling very irritable, and couldn't help but said.He was dissatisfied with the fact that the coach removed himself to play in the second team just now. He believed in his own strength. Part of the reason why he didn't pass the ball in the second team was to prove to the coaching staff, who is more important? Should be a substitute.
"Yeah, it's really different. Last season, Tony and Sean were the starters, and we succeeded in the black eight!" Hei Xiong also spoke, and the insinuation in his words was obvious.
Guy is not stupid, of course he knows who the black bear is talking about.He was reimbursed for the season due to shoulder surgery in the second half of last season. He didn't play in the playoffs at all, but the team finished black eight and finally entered the Western Conference Finals.This is also the pain in his heart, something he doesn't want to mention.But Black Bear mentioned it.
Gay instantly became angry: "Who is the cancer? Who claims to be a 'low post killer' but can't even beat a 36-year-old veteran!"
Gay's insinuation is more obvious. "Low post killer" refers to the black bear, and "36-year-old veteran" refers to the black bear's defense.
The black bear stood up suddenly and glared at Guy: "Rudy, what are you talking about? ****"
Guy also stood up and responded to the black bear with trash talk.
The two seemed to want to fight, but Coach Hollins and other players from the Grizzlies surrounded them and separated them.
Xie Kai knew that he couldn't get around this matter. If he stayed out of it, then if he wanted to become the leader of this team in the future, it would be empty talk.
But the leader is not a friendly person. In his opinion, he needs to give a clear attitude.
"Stop making noise!" Xie Kai raised his volume and said suddenly.
All the attention in the locker room was attracted by him...
Xie Kai raised his eyes to Black Bear and Guy, and said, "We are teammates, not enemies! If anyone doesn't want to win, he doesn't deserve to stand on the court! Those who don't want to win the championship are not eligible to be our team in the playoffs. teammates!"
Thanks to Kai's words, neither the Black Bear nor Gay "greet" each other. Indeed, it is the playoffs now. If you don't want to win, it seems that you will be humiliated by the opponent on the field. Why not just wave a towel off the field!
In the second half of the game, the attitude of the Grizzlies was much more correct, but whether it was Gay or the Black Bears, a thorn was planted in their hearts, and the cooperation was not as good as before.
The Spurs played steadily and took the overall offense and defense to the extreme, without giving the opponent any chance to overtake, and successfully maintained the score advantage until the end.
In the end, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs again in an away game, falling behind by a big score of 0:2.
Among the colorful ribbons in the AT&T Center Arena, the Grizzlies left in dismay.Spurs fans sent them off with boos and boos.
After the game, the Grizzlies soldiers also refused to be interviewed by the media and left the arena in a hurry.
